“To his kind of judge, Cruz ironically wouldn’t be eligible, because the legal principles that prevailed in the 1780s and ’90s required that someone actually be born on US soil to be a “natural born” citizen. Even having two US parents wouldn’t suffice. And having just an American mother, as Cruz did, would have been insufficient at a time that made patrilineal descent decisive.”…Laurence H. Tribe, Harvard Law Professor

“Ted Cruz wrote the forward for U.S. Constitution for Dummies which clearly reveals that he is not a natural born citizen.”…IL ballot challenger Bill Graham

“Moore said he’s seen no convincing evidence that Obama is a “natural born citizen” and a lot of evidence that suggests he is not.”…Judge Roy Moore interview by WND

“Lawsuit Over Ted Cruz’s Eligibility to Run for President Heads to Court”

“During Wednesday night’s CNN town hall, Ted Cruz dismissed the latest legal threat from Donald Trump, assuring a voter that he’s definitely eligible to run for president. “Under the law the question is clear,” he said. “There will still be some who try to work political mischief on it, but as a legal matter this is clear and straightforward.” Unlike Cruz’s right to air old footage of Trump on Meet the Press in a campaign ad, the issue raised by Cruz’s birth in Canada to an American mother actually isn’t settled — but now it looks like we may finally get an answer. CNN reports that an Illinois judge has agreed to hear arguments in a lawsuit challenging Cruz’s eligibility on Friday.

The lawsuit in question actually has nothing to do with Trump (though, it’s unlikely we’d be debating the obscure legal arguments over whether Cruz is a “natural born citizen” if it weren’t for the ex–reality star). Suburban lawyer Lawrence Joyce initially filed an objection to Cruz’s placement on the primary ballot with the Illinois Board of Elections, but it was dismissed earlier this month. Now the Circuit Court of Cook County in Chicago has agreed to hear the case.

Legal challenges over Cruz’s eligibility have been filed in at least three states. Joyce seems primarily concerned about the political fallout from the questions surrounding Cruz’s candidacy, rather than the possibility of a secret Canadian infiltrating the U.S. government. He told Chicago’s WLS that he’s concerned about what would happen if the challenge came from a Democrat in the fall after Cruz secured the GOP nomination. “At that point, all of his fundraising would dry up. And his support in the polls would drop dramatically. He may be forced at that point to resign the nomination,” he said.”

Kerchner v Obama & Congress Appeal – Atty Mario Apuzzo Filed on 10 April 2010 to the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals an Appellants Motion for Leave to File a Supplemental Appendix. Along with the motion he also filed a copy of the Supplemental Appendix. You can read the Motion and the Supplemental Appendix which has been combined into one file for release purposes via the link to the filing documents at this link.

Comment from Commander Kerchner, the Lead Plaintiff:
Our side is ready and rhetorically locked and loaded for the epic struggle. General Quarters has been sounded and the We the People are now awake on this issue and on the move to remove the unconstitutional Usurper from the Oval Office along with his corrupt and socialist backers with their foreign influences, money, and agenda for America to take our nation into a direction that is not American and violates our Constitution, the fundamental law of our land. We are a nation of laws not men. Our hearing in court is coming. If we don’t prevail in the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals this case will be taken to the U.S. Supreme Court. We the People will not quit. This issue is not going away until Obama’s true legal identity is revealed and his constitutional eligibility to be President and Commander-in-Chief of our Military is thoroughly vetted in a court of law on the merits of the charges. The truth and the Constitution will win this fight in the end. We the People will insure that. So help us God.

Obama and Congress File Their Opposition Brief to the Kerchner Appeal
Today, March 8, 2009, putative President Barack Obama and Congress filed their Opposition Brief to the Kerchner appeal currently pending in the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia. The brief may be viewed at this link. We now have until March 22, 2010, to file our reply brief which will address the arguments the defendants have made in their opposition brief.

The defendants brief is a presentation of general statements of the law of standing. Appealing to what other courts have done, the defendants basically tell the court that the Kerchner case should be dismissed because all the other Obama cases have been dismissed. Its main point is that the Kerchner plaintiffs have not proven that they have standing because they failed to show that they have suffered a concrete and particularized injury.

The brief does not even acknowledge our factual allegations against Obama which are that he is not and cannot be an Article II “natural born Citizen” because his father was a British subject/citizen and not a United States citizen and Obama himself was a British subject/citizen at the time Obama was born and that he has failed to even show that he is at least a “citizen of the United States” by conclusively proving that he was born in Hawaii. It is strange as to why the brief does not even contain these factual allegations within it, giving the appearance that the Justice Department does not want such allegations to be even included in any official court record.

Nor does the brief acknowledge let alone address what all our legal arguments are on the questions of standing and political question. Rather, it merely repeats what the Federal District Court said in its decision which dismissed the Kerchner case for what it found was lack of standing and the political question doctrine and asks the Court of Appeals to affirm the District Court’s decision dismissing our complaint/petition.

I will be filing my reply to the defendants’ brief on or before March 22, 2010.

From Charles Kerchner, lead plaintiff in Kerchner v Obama and Congress.

For Immediate Release – 22 Feb 2010

There was activity today in the Kerchner et al v Obama & Congress et al Appeal before the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia PA.

The Appellant’s Motion for Leave to File an Over-Length Appellant’s Brief has been granted by Judge Michael Chagares, Circuit Judge, with the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia PA. The Appellant’s Brief is now past that technical hurdle and is thus fully accepted and before that court. This case at the Court of Appeals level will be judged by a three judge panel. You can see a copy of the Motion and the Order granting it at the below link.

We say in our original complaint that Obama is not a “natural born Citizen” of the USA and thus is not eligible to serve as President in the Oval Office. Obama is a Usurper and must be removed to preserve the integrity and fundamental law of our Constitution and our Republic.

We say that we Plaintiffs do have standing and the federal courts do have jurisdiction to address the constitutional legal question as to what does the term “natural born Citizen” in Article II mean to “constitutional standards”. All citizens have the inalienable right under the 9th Amendment to stand up to support and defend the U.S. Constitution against usurpation. And Oath Takers such as CDR Kerchner have a duty to do so. The courts have the constitutional power to take and decide this case. It is part of the “judicial review” powers of the federal courts. It is the courts duty to interpret the Constitution and all terms therein for cases involving the U.S. Constitution brought before it.

“We the People” will be heard on this matter! As the People in Massachusetts have demonstrated, “We the People” are the Sovereigns in this country. The Constitution is the fundamental law of our nation, not Obama, Congress, or the two Political Parties, or the Main Stream Media. We will not be silenced. The chair Obama temporarily and illegally sits in in the Oval Office is not his throne. It is the People’s seat. And Obama despite all his obfuscations to-date must prove to “constitutional standards” that he is eligible to sit in that seat or he will be removed by the People.

This is not going to go away until Obama stops hiding ALL his hidden and sealed early life documents and provides original copies of them to a controlling legal authority and reveals his true legal identity from the time he was born until the time he ran for President.

Obama at birth was born British via his non-Citizen, foreign British Subject father. Obama is a dual-citizen. He holds and has held multiple citizenship during his life-time. He’s been a Citizenship chameleon all his life as the moment and time in his life suited him. While living in Indonesia during his childhood he was an Indonesian citizen. Obama is not a “natural born Citizen” with singular and sole allegiance to the USA at birth and Unity of Citizenship at Birth to the USA as is required per the Constitution per the intent of our founders and framers of the Constitution and the meaning of the term “natural born Citizen” to Constitutional standards. The requirement to be “natural born Citizen” at birth is a national security issue since the President is the commander of our military. That is why the clause was put into the Constitution in the first place. Obama is not a “natural born Citizen” of the USA and is an illegal President and Commander-in-Chief and is a national security risk to this nation.

The next expected activity in the Kerchner v Obama & Congress lawsuit is for the Defendants’ to file their Opposition Brief. The Defendants previously had filed for an extension for more time to file their Opposition Brief, which the court had previously granted. As has been typical, the Obama side continues to stall and delay and obfuscate. They absolutely do not wish this case tried in court on the merits as Obama is NOT a “natural born Citizen” of the USA and that would be easily proven in a Court of law with discovery and presentation of the historical and legal evidence as to what the term “natural born Citizen” meant to the founders and in four U.S. Supreme Court cases.

In the end the truth will be told. It’s only a matter of time and the truth will come out. Obama’s hidden and sealed documents of his early live will be revealed, and he will either resign or be constitutionally removed from the office he illegally sits in. Obama has created a Constitutional Crisis of historic proportions. But We the People will resolve it. History will record Putative President Obama as a disgraceful moment in the history of our great Republic and put a gigantic asterisk after his name. But we will survive it. Our Constitution and We the People will win the day and protect our freedom and liberty for our children, grandchildren, and are great-grandchildren to come. Obama the illegal President will be removed.

Why has Obama employed a legion of private and government attorneys to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?…Citizen Wells and millions of concerned Americans

Yesterday, February 13, 2010, the Citizen Wells blog provided an update on the Charles Kerchner v Obama and Congress lawsuit.

“Obama and Congress Request and Obtain an Extension of Time to File Opposition Brief to Kerchner v Obama & Congress Appeal.”

“As Lead Plaintiff in this case it looks to me like the Defendants are having great difficulty finding a way to knock down the constitutional, historical, and legal arguments made by Attorney Mario Apuzzo in the Appellant’s Opening Brief to the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals filed in Philadelphia PA, the city where our U.S. Constitution was written in 1787.”

The Post & Email provides some background
“Kerchner case will test Third Circuit court’s adherence to the Constitution”
“Recently the attorneys representing Barack Hussein Obama and the U.S. Congress have admitted the formidability of the arguments mustered against their clients by requesting an extension on the deadline to file their reply. The court set that, now, for March 8. Apuzzo will then have two weeks to file his reply, defending his brief against their counter-arguments.
Without a doubt, Obama’s attorneys will not be able to muster a defense without a direct attack on the very U.S. Constitution and the rights protected by it which are the basis of the case.”

US Constitution

Presidential eligibility

Accountability

Dummies

Glenn Beck

Obots

Drug users

Left wing wackos

If you fall into one of the categories above or you can’t follow all of those messy or complicated constituional issues above, this is for you.From the original Kerchner v Obama and Congress lawsuit.

“53. Obama has refused all efforts to have him release the following documents,
relying on sealing of records and/or privacy laws: Punahou High School records,
Occidental College records, Columbia College records, Columbia Thesis paper, Harvard
College records, Selective Service Registration, medical records, Illinois State Senate
records, Illinois State Senate schedule, Law practice client list, Certified Copy of the
original, long form, Certificate of Live Birth (Birth Certificate), Harvard Law Review
articles that were published, University of Chicago scholarly articles, exit and entry
immigration records covering all of Obama’s travels out of the United States; passports;
and record of baptism, if any;”

Let’s pretend for a moment, for the group above, that the birth certificate and natural born questions above are not relevant (you would have to be a complete idiot to believe that). Who would spend enormous sums of money and employ many attorneys to avoid revealing college records unless they had something to hide.

As Lead Plaintiff in this case it looks to me like the Defendants are having great difficulty finding a way to knock down the constitutional, historical, and legal arguments made by Attorney Mario Apuzzo in the Appellant’s Opening Brief to the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals filed in Philadelphia PA, the city where our U.S. Constitution was written in 1787.

The truth about Obama’s constitutional ineligibility for the office he sits in, and the fundamental law of our nation, the U.S. Constitution, will win the day in the end.

It is only a matter of time before the fraud of Obama in the 2008 election will be revealed. And because of that the progressives are trying to run out the clock to keep him in office as the putative president as long as possible. But in my opinion Obama’s days of deceit and fraudulently occupying the Oval Office are numbered.”

From attorney Mario Apuzzo:

Obama and Congress Request and Obtain Extension of Time to File Opposition Brief to Kerchner Appeal
On January 19, 2010, I filed the Appellants’ Opening Brief in the appeal of Kerchner et al. v. Obama et al. which is currently pending in the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia. In that appeal, we maintain that the New Jersey Federal District Court erred in dismissing our case by ruling that plaintiffs do not have standing to challenge Obama’s alleged eligibility to be President and Commander in Chief of the Military and that our case presents a non-justiciable political question. In our case, we have provided the Founder’s and Framers’ definition of an Article II “natural born Citizen” which is a child born in the country to citizen parents. We maintain that Obama is not an Article II “natural born Citizen” because he lacks unity of citizenship and allegiance from birth which is obtained when a child is born in the United States to a mother and father who are both United States citizens at the time of birth. Obama’s father was only a temporary visitor to the United States when Obama was born and never even became a resident let alone a citizen. Not being an Article II “natural born Citizen,” Obama is not eligible to be President and Commander in Chief.

We also maintain that Obama has failed to conclusively prove that he was born in Hawaii by publicly presenting a copy of a contemporaneous birth certificate (a long-form birth certificate generated when he was born in 1961 and not simply a digital image of computer generated Certification of Live Birth [COLB] allegedly obtained from the Hawaii Department of Health in 2007 which was posted on the internet by some unknown person in 2008) or through other contemporaneous and objective documentation. Having failed to meet his constitutional burden of proof under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5, we cannot accept him as a “natural born Citizen.”

The defendants had 30 days within which to file their opposition brief. Defendants have requested and obtained from the Court an extension of time to file their brief. The Court has granted them until March 8, 2010 to file it. After that filing, I will then have a chance to file a reply brief within the next 14 days.

You may obtain a copy of my brief at this site . We will be posting here the defendants’ opposition brief after it is filed along with my reply brief. I hope that many of you will take the time to read these briefs so that you may learn first hand what the legal issues and arguments are regarding whether the plaintiffs have standing and/or are precluded by the political question doctrine to challenge Obama on his eligibility to be President and Commander in Chief, and what the meaning of an Article II “natural born Citizen” is.
